Old Spice steps up the game
When was the last time you’ve seen a commercial? Probably about a week if you watch tv. Most times you either jump to a different channel or if you TIVO, you just skip them. Of course, there isn’t anything WRONG with that, at least from our point of view. Our TV Shows (however strange and [...]
Blagging about the iPad
At the request of a friend I decided to put up my pre-hands-on review of the iPad. I thought about getting it, but then I figured a magnifying glass and an iPod would be cheaper. But then I realized, I’m not a fan of iPods, so I did the next best thing. Look for reasons [...]
Aggro Detection with Javascript
So you want to make some games? Sure it sounds easy, but until you dive into it you’ll never notice all the little things that go into the backend of it that make or break your game. While this isn’t as big a deal in current browser-based games (they’re either muds, flash or static maps) [...]
ChromeOS – Revolution or Bust!
Everyone seems to be going a little over board with the newly announced Chrome OS. Don’t get me wrong, I love all new shiny things – I’m a shiny-new-thing-lover, but people are not only blowing this out of proportion, they’re not even talking about the right things. Let’s break it down shall we?
What IS Chrome [...]
Feature Friday – Google Wave Preview – Rarst.net
I’ve been really apprehensive about posting my own review of Google Wave simply because I don’t see how the general public will be affected by it yet. Long term, I’m hoping Google Wave will become the method of choice for collaboration, but short term, it’s still too early to tell. Some people are gushing over [...]
Feature Friday – David Walsh – When Webmasters Attack
David Walsh Blog is something that I’ve been following for some time now. While he predominantly focuses on Mootools related functionality (I’m jQuery) he does have some good posts about design and development on all aspects of the web. Definitely a website worth adding to your Feed list.
This particular post is something that I feel [...]
Simple Website Instant Messenger – Client-side Functionality
This is part two of the Simple Website Instant Messenger (SWIM for short, I love it when acronyms just work themselves out) and will cover adding some client-side functionality to our system. For part 1, click here.
Client-side functionality essentially translates itself to “using JavaScript to do some funcy (eh? get it? Funcy? Functional?) things”. It [...]
Microsoft WebsiteSpark
While I initially decided that Fridays would be posts from my favourite blogs, this was something that I realized not a lot of people are aware of. If you’re looking to get into ASP.NET I recommend you check out this great offering from Microsoft. There are a few stipulations, but definitely worth it if you’re [...]
Google Wave
If you’ve been keeping up with latest Google news, you’ll know that Google Wave is the latest and greatest thing. Or so they claim. After spending a few days playing around with Wave I’ve come to a rather disappointing conclusion. Unless you’re a developer, Wave will be useless.
First off, let me highlight what Google Wave [...]
Feature Friday – Rarst.net – PDF Creator
Whenever you need to make sure that something is going to look the same cross-platform (Linux, Windows, Mac) your best is always PDF’s. Most computers come with Adobe Reader or some equivalent to handle PDF files, and even gMail has incorporated its own online PDF reader. However, for some strange reason, windows doesn’t come with [...]
